[NCUC-DISCUSS] Fwd: [bestbits] Cyber policy training programme - launch of online training series

[Marilia Maciel]

Hello everyone,

I believe this series may be of interest to some of you. I had the pleasure
to write the script for one of the modules, and so did Tatiana Tropina. I
believe this will be a good material to share with others in our
communities.

All the best wishes,
Marilia

We’re delighted to unveil our new online training series “How to engage in
cyber policy: tools for human rights defenders”.

The series is a core part of the training component of GPD’s cyber capacity
building programme
<http://www.gp-digital.org/gpd-launches-new-global-programme-to-foster-more-inclusive-cyber-policies/>
(CCB)
<http://www.gp-digital.org/gpd-launches-new-global-programme-to-foster-more-inclusive-cyber-policies/>,
and aims to help human rights defenders develop the tools, skills and
knowledge they need to engage effectively in cyber policy debates.

Developed in collaboration with the CCB Advisory Board
<http://www.gp-digital.org/gpd-announces-advisory-board-for-cyber-capacity-building-programme/>,
the series is structured around five modules. The first four each focus on
a different aspect of cyber policy - human rights, cybersecurity,
regulatory frameworks and cyber capacity building - with a final regional
module highlighting how these apply in Africa, Asia and Latin America.

Each module consists of several videos, which take participants through a
key cyber issue or concept - explaining how it relates to human rights, who
the key actors are, and how and where to engage. The videos in each module
are complemented by a live Q&A session (see below), allowing viewers to
pose questions to experts in the field and debate issues raised in the
module.

The series has been designed as a public resource and will be open to
everyone interested. The introductory video and first module - Human Rights
- is already live on the online training YouTube channel: watch them here.
<https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCow9ZGJMNsZtAkz4ZvTtcJA>

Subsequent modules will be uploaded to the channel on a week by week basis
throughout August. We’ll be updating this page
<http://www.gp-digital.org/watch-our-new-online-series-on-cyber-policy-for-human-rights-defenders/>
as the modules go up - and you can also follow @GlobalPartnersD for
